LONG
Peter Caines has made major contributions to control theory, in particular the estimation of the dynamics of systems operating in randomly disturbed environments and adaptive control wherein estimation and feedback control occur simultaneously. The latter work has been officially recognized as among the most important contributions to control theory in the twentieth century. His contributions to the study of complex systems include control based concepts of state aggregation that have led to new methods in optimal control. Dr. Caines is the author of a standard text on stochastic systems.
